permission error in untarring pyOpenSSL-0.6.tar.gz

The python folks have closed http://bugs.python.org/issue3016 as "works for me", saying that setuptools should use the public API of tarfile instead of the internal _extract_member() method, or else setuptools needs to catch and ignore (some?) ExtractErrors.

Candidate fix in trunk r65946 [1]; please test ASAP to confirm it is an actual fix.
